PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: May 24, 2026

Effective date: May 24, 2026

EHM Tech LLC ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Counter44 mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our App.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

You can review the most current version of this Privacy Policy at https://www.ehm-tech.com/calorie-tracker/privacy/.

1. PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN

Counter44 is designed with your privacy as the top priority. All food logging, calorie and macro tracking, weight history, water and exercise records, progress photos, and timelapse video generation are performed and stored entirely on your device. Your health and food data is never transmitted to our servers.

Data stored locally on your device includes:

  • Food entries (kcal, protein, carbs, fat, portion amount and unit, named-serving snapshot, timestamp, day)
  • Custom foods (name, bucket, per-100g macros, serving size, named serving)
  • Weight logs, water logs, and exercise logs (each indexed by day; weights stored in kg, water in mL)
  • Progress photos (image files captured for photo-a-day, stored in the App's private file directory)
  • Goal profile and targets (sex, age, height, weight, activity, goal direction, manual-override flag, BMR/TDEE-derived kcal and macro targets, rollover and add-back-burned-calories preferences)
  • Onboarding answers, badges state, recents, theme, locale, water preferences, and other app settings

We do not collect, store, or have access to your food entries, custom foods, weight, water, exercise, progress photos, goal profile, onboarding answers, or any other personal information you enter into the App.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

While your food, calorie, and health data remains private on your device, we collect limited technical data to improve the App:

  • Anonymous usage analytics (via Firebase Analytics) to understand how features are used
  • Crash reports (via Firebase Crashlytics) to identify and fix app stability issues
  • Purchase data for subscription management (via RevenueCat)
  • Device identifiers for fraud prevention and entitlement validation (via RevenueCat)

Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics are enabled only in release builds and are disabled during development. This data helps us improve app stability and user experience. It does not include your food entries, custom foods, weight, water, exercise, progress photos, goal profile, onboarding answers, or settings.

On iOS, the App requests App Tracking Transparency (ATT) consent at onboarding. If you decline, no advertising identifier is shared with analytics or third-party services.

For more information about how Firebase handles data, see Firebase's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy.

3. NO ADVERTISING

Counter44 does not display any advertisements. We do not use advertising SDKs, and we do not collect or share data with advertisers. Your experience is ad-free.

4. IN-APP PURCHASES

Payment Processing: If you purchase the Pro version ("app_pro" entitlement), your payment is processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store). We do not collect or store your payment information.

Subscription Management: We use RevenueCat to manage subscription entitlements. RevenueCat uses anonymous user IDs — no user accounts are required. RevenueCat collects:

  • App usage events (app opened, subscription screens viewed)
  • Device type and operating system
  • Transaction data (purchase receipts, subscription status)
  • Last seen time in app

For more information, see RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

5. SUPPORT CONTACT DATA

If you contact us for support through the App, the support email may include technical information to help us assist you:

  • App version and build number
  • Operating system version
  • Device manufacturer and model
  • RevenueCat anonymous App User ID
  • Timezone

This information is only collected when you choose to initiate contact and is used solely to provide support.

6. DATA RETENTION

Your food entries, custom foods, weight, water, exercise logs, progress photos, goal profile, onboarding answers, and settings are stored locally on your device only. We do not have access to this data. If you uninstall the App, all locally stored data is deleted.

Anonymous analytics and crash data are retained by Firebase according to Google's data retention policies. This data cannot be linked back to you personally.

7. PERMISSIONS

The App may request the following permissions:

  • Notifications: To send meal reminders at your configured times, a streak-risk reminder when you haven't logged yet today, and an optional trial-ending reminder
  • Exact Alarms: To schedule precise reminder notifications at your preferred times (Android)
  • Boot Completed: To re-schedule reminders after your device restarts
  • Camera: To capture progress photos for the photo-a-day feature
  • Photo Library / Storage: To choose existing photos for the photo-a-day feature, and to save generated timelapse videos to your gallery
  • App Tracking Transparency: Requested on iOS during onboarding so you can choose whether advertising identifiers are shared
  • Internet: Required for analytics, crash reporting, and subscription validation

All permissions are optional (except internet for core functionality) and can be managed in your device settings.

8. EXPORT AND SHARING

The App lets you save and share content you generate yourself:

  • Timelapse videos: Generated locally from your progress photos at 1080×1920 resolution (with a weight-chart overlay) and saved to your device's photo gallery. You can then share them via your operating system's share sheet.

All export and share operations happen on your device. We do not access, intercept, upload, or store any exported videos or shared content.

9. YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on your location, you may have rights including:

  • Right to access information we hold about you
  • Right to request deletion of your data
  • Right to limit analytics via your device privacy settings
  • Right to data portability

10. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

11. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
